Queue up your playlist of club bangers and step aboard the Bataleon The Jam Snowboard. With full, tip-to-tail camber and uplifted sidebases, The Jam is a hard carving all-mountain monster that won't hesitate to devour the steep and deep. Durable and highly responsive, the relatively stiff flexing Reactor Core paired with carbon and Kevlar laminates make the Bataleon The Jam Snowboard an all-time winter anthem.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Freestyle 3BT
 Bataleon's all mountain freestyle shapes are the most versatile boards in the line. Their twin-ish shapes, more aggressive camber profile, medium center-base width and longer contact length between the feet produce a powerful ride with freestyle tendencies and powder float.

Full Length Camber

Uplifted Sidebases

Shape

Core

Reactor Core
 Dual density full wood core composed of poplar with beech running tip to tail along the rails. This fortifies the board's edges against impacts and delivers stronger, more precise edge hold and turns while also promoting reactive pop along the edges.

Laminates

Tri-Ax Laminate
 Bataleon's tri-axial or three-way fiberglass is a weave of fibers in three directions: 45, 0 and -45 degrees. It's like their bi-ax layup with with added fibers running tip to tail. This stiffens up the board and adds more snap, while also offering better edge control and grip. The added strands of glasses make boards more aggressive and more responsive overall.

Carbon Enhanced
 Carbon adds explosive snap, precise control, smooth dampening and it's feather light. Bataleon uses it to enhance the ride of their high-end boards. By placing Carbon stringers in key areas of the board they are able to increase the connection between the rails of your board making it feel more responsive.

Kevlar Enhanced
 Kevlar can stop a speeding bullet and it can also make your snowboard lighter and snappier in a similar way as carbon does. By placing Kevlar stringers in key areas of the board, Bataleon can control the way a board flexes and responds to pressure.

Base

Sintered Base
 Hard and fast. Sintered base material is tough stuff and its microscopic pores retain wax nuggets for a slick slide. To get the maximum benefits from a sintered base it needs to be waxed regularly. Bataleon finishes theirs with a proper hot wax before they leave the factory.

Terrain

FreestyleFreestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard.All-MountainAll-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level

Advanced-Expert
Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type

CamberCamber is the traditional profile for snowboards, and still popular among high-level park and pipe riders because it offers maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and touches near the tip and tail when unweighted; when the rider’s weight is added, it provides a long, evenly pressured running surface and edge.

Flex Rating

StiffThe amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.

This year's freestyle Triple Base Technology from Bataleon featured on The Jam is stable on hard pack while being smooth and maneuverable off piste and in powder. Instead of a traditional flat base, Bataleon snowboards have their contact points lifted about two degrees which creates a three dimensional base shape. This design is referred to as Triple Base Technology or 3BT. If you are not familiar with it, take a look at the breakdown on the Bataleon website.

The Jam is Bataleon's high end All Mountain free-carving board. Newer riders will appreciate the 3BT which will help reduce edge engagement due to operator error that leads to being flung into the mountain. Advanced riders will enjoy the smooth turn transitions while still having solid edge hold that the cambered profile provides. Expert riders get a cambered deck in The Jam that they can push to it's limit on technical runs and still enjoy the surfy feel that a dedicated powder board would provide. In other words, the freestyle 3BT featured on The Jam is legit.

The Jam has Bataleon's triaxial fiberglass laments and two carbon stringers running tip to tail. This construction stiffens up the deck and helps the rider deliver precise control and generate more power in carves. In addition to the carbon, there are also Kevlar stringers which are inserted to help dampen the ride for the hard charging through the bumps. They top all of that off with a proper sintered base. The Jam is nimble, smooth, responsive, has supreme edge hold. I wouldn't recommend this board for jibbing or buttering, but you will be hard pressed to find a better All Mountain freeride board. The Jam is worth the price of admission.
